Soft Features: Rugs, Curtains, Furnishings

While every static caravan for sale comes with the bare bones of a liveable space, it’s the soft features that you add which really elevate the way the space looks and feels from both the inside and the outside.

Adding details like curtains, soft touches including rugs and extra carpets, and tailoring the furniture to your needs and preferences, all help to soften the space – with texture a great way to add warmth to a neutral and compact inside space.

Use the Outside Space – Lighting and Chairs

Moving to the outside of your static caravan, one detail which can transform both the look and the practicality of your caravan is the installation of outside lighting.

Appliances and Features
